and you realize she inherits his huge college and whatever else debts too?
your point is fine for people that don’t get divorced. it’s a moot point for them. but in the real world, which is where we live, where sadly about half of married couples divorce, when people get divorced, there has to be a way to fairly separate assets and debt incurred in the marriage, because it was property and debt acquired during the marriage and belonging to both of them. now that they won’t be together anymore there needs to be a fair system so that neither gets too little assets or too much debt.
We started off with the fact that more women are now going to college than men.
The advantage of not going to college is you work those four years instead of acquiring debt.
College costs have gone up 72% since 2000, while the earnings of a college graduate have declined 15%.
Why would some smart man who realized that a college degree is way overrated these days and worked and saved instead want to marry someone with college debt for a worthless degree?
I fully understand it. I guess since you plan on getting divorced anyway it doesn't matter to you.
